This Week, January 31st to February 7th 2010.
-- Thursday, Feb. 4, 6:30 p.m.
a.m. -- Parish Committee Meeting. Minister's Office.
-- Sunday, Feb. 7, 10:00 a.m. -- Rev. Lara Hoke will deliver the sermon "Positively ‘Bright-Sided'’?". For many decades, we have heard about Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking. In more recent times, we’ve heard about The Secret and The Law of Attraction, but how far does positive thinking really get us? Lara will consider The Power of Positive Thinking and The Law of Attraction in light of Barbara Ehrenreich's new book, Bright-Sided.
Debbie Kent will be our organist and pianist this Sunday.
Service will be held in the Davis Memorial Building.
Our church is a Welcoming Congregation.
What is that, you may ask?

-- Sunday, Feb. 7, 11:00 a.m. -- Annual Chocolate Auction!. A chocolate auction will be a wonderful break from the snowy, winter weather. Please bring in a chocolate related item to be auctioned off, after the service, at 11:00 a.m. by our auctioneer Chip Bull. This auction was started about 5 years ago by our then minister, Rev. John Pastor. It was fun and exciting and we have continued it each year since. It's great to watch the bidding rivalry going on and then we get to enjoy, and in some cases share, some great treats. Think of what you can offer for the auction and come have a good time. As this is the week before St. Valentine’s Day you may be able to find a special treat for a special someone.
